Earlier, it had been reported that some of the Coronavirus vaccines had gone waste in the Northern Region, while there remains quite a number of people who are yet to be vaccinated. All regions were able to use it except for the 480 doses that could not be used in the Northern Region and the 100 doses in the Oti Region. Some of 480 vials containing the coronavirus vaccines were reported to have gone bad due to the limited timeframe as at the close of the first phase of the vaccination exercise. So we had three clear days to the six months date,” Hilarious Abiwu, the Director in charge of Public Health, explained. A low turnout of health workers also contributed to the extension of the days for the vaccination in the region.
